- Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.
- For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God.
- But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.
- To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
- "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth."
|
- When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
- He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
- For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
